The three French Mathematical Societies, SFdS, SMAI and SMF have created in 2009 the prize Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh in his memory. It has been awarded annually to a young mathematician of Central or West Africa and has been funding a scientific visit of a few months every year since 2009 until 2015.

The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) is looking for good, young mathematicians from developing countries to be nominated for the 2018 Ramanujan Prize. The Prize, which has been awarded annually since 2005, is funded by the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India (DST), and is administered jointly by ICTP, the International Mathematical Union (IMU), and the DST.

The Scientific Council of CIMPA has had a two days meeting at the Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris to work on project proposals of CIMPA Research Schools for 2019. CIMPA is very grateful to all the members of this council for their time and energy. The selection of schools will be finalized during the next CIMPA Steering Committee meeting in Sevilla on January 25-26, 2018.

Interview of Prof. Thierry Masson (CNRS researcher in mathematical physics) on the website of the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education.

In this interview Prof. Thierry Masson speaks about developing science in Southeast Asia after his recent experience in organising a CIMPA Research School at the ICISE conference center (Quy Nhon city, Vietnam).

CARI, the African Conference on Research in Computer Science, is the outcome of an international cooperation involving African universities, French research institutes, and international organizations. Occurring once every two years since its first edition held in 1992 (Yaounde, Cameroon), CARI is more than a scientific gathering, but a dynamic environment for cooperation that brings together African researchers, and decision-makers in the fields of computer science and applied mathematics.

The Goethe University Frankfurt and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences of Senegal announce the availability of PhD fellowships funded by DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) in the field of Analysis of Partial Differential Equations.

Each fellowship consists of a monthly rate of 1000 € for each month spent at the Goethe Frankfurt and 400 € for each month spent at AIMS Senegal. It also covers the travel costs of one round trip between Frankfurt and AIMS Senegal in each of the years 2018-2020.

Every year, the Institut Henri Poincaré features three focused trimester programs attended by many researchers (professors and students) from France and abroad. Those trimesters provide the ideal environment, through conferences, workshops and courses, to interchange ideas and technics on a specific research area in mathematics or theoretical physics.

From September 3rd to december 14th 2018, will be held the IHP trimester « Analytics, Inference, and Computation in Cosmology »

The three new laureates of the CIMPA-CARMIN program have arrived in France to participate in the IHP Trimester "Analysis in Quantum Information Theory" from September 4th to December 15th, 2017. Before going to IHP in Paris, Alihuén Garcia Pavioni from Argentina, Alexis Legon from Venezuela and Abdallah Slaoui from Morocco, are spending one week in Cargèse (Corsica) to attend the kick-off School. We wish them a wonderful IHP Trimester.
